Our investments in wells on each of our properties, plus water rights to San Pasqual, provide a quality water source. Essentially, we have perfect conditions for strong, beautiful flowers.Our team understands that fresh, healthy flowers require nutrient-rich soil, clean water, and sunshine. They must be harvested at the perfect moment, handled with care, and delivered promptly to ensure maximum bloom.Bandy Ranch Floral boasts a 46,000 square foot eco-friendly facility in Vista, California which includes 23,000 square feet of refrigeration to house your order.Our farms have state-of-the-art propagation and are constantly adapting, planting new crops to keep up with market trends.
